"I listened to the WBAI's "Back Stage Stories" where you covered the upcoming March 25th event. The program was outstanding. If you can get the authorization to link that show to a follow-up email next Monday, it may lead to a stronger turnout on March 25th."
- John D. Smith (long time Banana Puddin' Jazz SPONSOR).
This was the interview we had with Marcia Pendelton last week... Not to be missed just click here: https://wbai.org/archive/program/episode/?id=48652

"Wow, what an honor to be acknowledged by Woodie King Jr. for having created my very own
ROME NEAL'S BANÀNA PUDDIN'JAZZ!!!" Rome
Theater produced and created by African-Americans helped mold generations influenced by their performance art and helped shape cultures.
Now, a new documentary hopes to show these Black creators, past and present, seeking stages to share their voices, entertain and inform on issues in front of a live audience and other performance platforms.
